SEN Teacher - SEMH Specialist School
Are you an enthusiastic and committed teacher looking to take the next step in your career within SEN education?
We are currently recruiting on behalf of a specialist school in Ashford, who are looking for a passionate SEN Teacher to join their team. The school provides specialist education for children and young people with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs, helping pupils to re-engage with education and develop the skills they need to thrive.
The successful teacher will play an important role in creating a positive and consistent learning environment. You will be expected to deliver engaging lessons while recognising that pupils may require a more individualised approach to both learning and behaviour. Strong relationship-building skills are essential, as trust and consistency are key to helping pupils make progress.
